Hunter Valley singer-songwriter Kylie Jane ushers in spring with her soaring country ballad \u2018 Seasons Changing\u2019 – a powerful reflection on the different seasons of life, and the hope that comes from knowing even the hardest ones eventually pass.
Driven by Kylie\u2019s huge vocal range and authentic country production, \u2018Seasons Changing\u2019 finds beauty in life\u2019s uncertainty.
\u201cSeason\u2019s Changing is about the different seasons we all move through in life and love,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe\u2019re constantly growing, changing and figuring things out, and sometimes life doesn\u2019t go the way we planned. There are seasons where we\u2019re falling apart, seasons where we\u2019re putting the pieces back together, and seasons where we\u2019re simply learning, growing and doing the best we can.\u201d
Arriving on the first day of spring, the timing gives the track\u2019s central metaphor a fitting real-world backdrop – a new season of growth and, for Kylie, the beginning of a new chapter in country music.
\u201cFor me, this song is about embracing those changes and remembering that the harder seasons don\u2019t last forever. There\u2019s always a new beginning around the corner, especially when you have someone beside you who feels like your solid ground through it all.\u201d
\u2018Seasons Changing\u2019 was written with rising singer-songwriter and producer, Jake Davey, though it wasn\u2019t what the pair had planned to work on that day. Kylie had arrived at the studio to record an entirely different song before a conversation about the changes unfolding in both their lives sparked something new.
From there, the song took shape naturally, with Davey also producing the single and the pair leaning into a warm and uplifting sound that gives Kylie\u2019s powerhouse vocal plenty of room to soar.
\u201cOnce we had the idea, the song came together really naturally. Jake just got the feeling and story behind it, and we wanted the production to feel warm, uplifting and real. I love that when I listen to it now, it takes me back to where we both were in our lives when we wrote it.\u201d
The accompanying music video brings that sense of change home to the Hunter Valley. Filmed at Tyrrell\u2019s Wines, the clip begins among the warmth and intimacy of the winery\u2019s wine room before moving outside into the vineyard as the sun begins to fall. Golden light, open country and the transition from indoors to sunset provide a natural visual counterpart to the song\u2019s themes of change.
For Kylie, \u2018Seasons Changing\u2019 also represents a continuation of her return to country music after a career that has moved freely between country, pop and soul.
First coming to wider attention through an appearance on The Voice in 2016, Kylie went on to release her debut album Black Swan and perform the Australian National Anthem at Newcastle\u2019s inaugural Coates Hire 500 Supercars Championship. She has since shared stages with Pete Murray, Thirsty Merc and Alex Lloyd , while her country debut \u2018Missing Piece\u2019 earned high rotation on ABC Country during Australian Music Month.
Now firmly establishing her next chapter as an independent country artist, Kylie has amassed more than 250,000 global streams, with previous single \u2018Saloon\u2019 passing 40,000 streams and multiple releases appearing on the AMRAP charts.
The move towards country feels particularly natural for an artist whose life away from music is firmly rooted in it. Kylie now lives on a 20-acre property in the Hunter Valley, where horses are as much a part of her everyday life as songwriting. A keen rider, she competes in showjumping and eventing, while also running tiny-home accommodation on the property.
It\u2019s a life that increasingly mirrors the music Kylie is making \u2013 grounded, personal and unmistakably country.
With \u2018Seasons Changing\u2019, Kylie Jane captures the uncertainty of not knowing exactly what comes next, while holding onto the simple reassurance at the heart of the song: seasons change, difficult moments pass, and there\u2019s always the possibility of something new around the corner. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
